if a moderator could delete my previous post I would gladly appreciate it. So over the span of 2 months after the season ended and I got my rewards, I've used 3 different boosting services, one service had 2 different IP locations and had summoner spells switched for one game and did terrible that game. I had used another booster that played a variety of champs for me but stuck to a couple of champions, now here comes the booster I use the most, the first booster couldn't get the job done in a timely manner and so a new booster was assigned which just so happen to be the original booster I had. With all these IP changes and champions I never played before, how high are my chances of getting caught this season? I don't plan on playing ranked anymore this season and will do duo queue boosts from now on. So in total there were about 6-7 IP changes and only one champ was mainly played.

Just a note: these werent some crazy boosts, just boosts from high gold to low plat

I recently purchased an elo boost as well, from Silver 5 to Silver 1. I am a bit worried and unsure if i will get banned for it cause the booster did have many win streaks but also did loose a few games, also carried hard most games but some games didn't do so hot. I don't know what to expect, he maintained the same summoner spells as mine and also used a VPN to maintain IP address. So will I get banned?

To be honest if you choose a wrong service odds are pretty high. There are numerous ways to mishandle the account and put it at increased risks. If you do it correctly you can get close to 0% ban rate. We completed 350 orders in 5 months with literally 0% ban ratio. So if you got bans before i really recommend switching boosters.

Over my time boosting 100's of accounts I only ever had one person get banned. That person had hired other booster's and was travelling from the USA to China at the time. They may have stepped up there detection system since then, but if it's the same unless you're going from USA to China to Canada IP wise within 24 hours I think you should be fine.

I used to boost for a few years, here are some tips I'd give for if you get boosts in the future.

-Always use the same site and request the same booster if possible to reduce the amount of IP's that log onto your acc.

-Give at least 24 hour time difference between when you log in from separate areas (so if you're getting a boost, don't play for 24 hours prior to when they got on, and after the boost is finished, wait 24 hours before logging in)

-Feel free to ask the booster for the IP they're using, I used a vpn most of the time so I didn't mind giving the person I boosted the IP address in the event that they needed to recover/dispute a ban

-DONT TELL YOUR FRIENDS, the majority of bans from boosting (in my opinion) are from people who simply get reported by their own friends. Of the 8 people I know of that received temp/perm bans after being boosted, 7 of those accounts received messages while I was on them from friends regarding about how they knew it was a booster on there because they heard from a mutual friend that they were being boosted. DO NOT TRUST YOUR FRIENDS OR TELL PEOPLE THAT YOU'RE GETTING BOOSTED, it seems like it'd be obvious, but you'd be surprised how often it isn't.

-Feel free to request that boosters use flash on f or d (whichever you use it on), personally I would just change it in keybinds to whatever was on the account that I was boosting at the time, but I can't imagine a high elo player ever having a problem with changing summoner spell keys as long as you ask. It's not a huge difference to get used to, especially if it's just for a few games.

-If you get boosted multiple divisions, don't play ranked and go 0-18. There are salty people that will look up your match history, see how you had a 90% winrate over 3 days then all losses, and file a ticket to report you. If you get boosted to plat or higher where you are required to do decay games then I'd recommend doing one of two things

1) Get another boost for your decay games, one game a month isn't going to cost you all that much

2) Join a lobby, let the game start, and LEAVE while it's in the loading screen. Fun fact: leaving games and causing them to remake will cause you to lp, however, you cannot demote from leaving games.

-If you plan on getting multiple boosts from the same person and they did your boost well (completed in a timely manner while being polite etc.), then tip your booster If I had a returning customer that had tipped me in the past and requested for me to boost again, then I'd try to do especially well on their account (not to say that I didn't try on all accounts, but I'd just to do it as well as possible for them in particular).

As far as if I think you'll get banned or not, I'd say it honestly depends on if your friends report you for the most part. I feel like Riot does catch people manually sometimes, but the main killer is when friends report you and THEN they check your IP and match history. It's very unlikely that they'll just happen to check the IP log on your account out of all of the other accounts on the server out of the blue.
